Airbitz

Airbitz is a bitcoin wallet provider and merchant directory headquartered in San Diego, CA founded by Paul Puey. In January 2015 they received $25,000 from the Plug N Play Tech Center and joined their accelerator program. In July 2015 Airbitz raised $450,000 from venture capital firm Block26.

Airbitz’s primary product is a decentralized bitcoin wallet that allows users to store and transact in bitcoin.

Bitcoins have recently been transferred from the United States to Cuba via a public transaction which remains a relatively small step technically, but perhaps a giant leap for technology’s effect on world affairs.
